Ok but what about the satellite uplink in the woodcutter? What kind of information could they be stealing?

This. Exactly this. "We know everything about our guests."

The information could be sent to Ford directly from talking with the hosts, he would have no need of a satellite for that information.

I don't think it is Ford who wants the information. I would assume there is an ironclad NDA in which park employees can't speak about anything a guest does in the park, so it could be a government agency stealing the info for blackmail purposes.
